A CR system, also known as computed radiography system, is one of the most affordable ways to add digital medical imaging to your medical facility.
Its flexibility in use as well as cost-effectiveness are just some of the reasons why medical offices with clinical specialties such as orthopedic, chiropractic, veterinary, radiology, podiatry and urgent care practices turn to CR solutions.
CR systems can be used to retrofit your existing film equipment.
This is a huge cost- and time-saving means for bringing your medical facility the digital imaging capabilities that will make your radiology room much more versatile to use.
No longer will you need to purchase consumables such as film and developing chemicals, nor will you waste time in developing films.
You can add the digital imaging components that make the most sense for your area of specialization, and if you choose to do so, you can build on the program as your needs change and as your budget allows.
By using CR, you end up with digital images that can be translated by software and hardware components into the DICOM imaging format.
Even though the digital images might be taken from a wide variety of modalities, which could include CT, PET, MRI, ultrasound, mammographies, x-rays and others, nevertheless the digital images can all be translated into the DICOM format, making it possible for a wide range of medical appliances to be able to read and manipulate them in helpful ways.
When the digital images taken with your CR system are translated into DICOM format, they can then be read by a PACS system.
This software and hardware appliance turns a personal computer into a clinical workstation, where you can view, distribute and store the digital medical images.
In addition, a RIS system may be added, and then you can translate text documents into DICOM format, which then provides you with a means to completely digitize patient records.
No more will you need rooms and rooms for storage of hard-copy files, because with digital images you can store them on tiny servers both at your medical office as well as offsite for easy disaster recovery.
You also gain tremendous speed by being able to use the Internet to send and receive digital image studies, rather than relying on sending hard copies through the mail.
With all of the versatility in taking care of routine medical tasks as well as the flexibility that is built in, CR solutions continue to remain a top choice for medical facilities of all sizes.
